I recently bought my first trike. I was told it was a 1987 125m, but it turns out it is a 1986. Lesson learned. Pictures are on my profile. The more I tear into it, the more I realize it needs. Smokes like crazy so the motor needs a rebuild, reverse doesn't work, rear fenders, brakes, wheels and tires, exhaust etc...I'm also learning that parts are a pain to find and some are near impossible. I paid $300 for it, but my question is should I punt it or invest the money into it. I'm not the mechanical type so I'm thinking this could easily top $2000 to get it in tip top shape. I would have no problem if it were an 87, but how rare is the 86 125m? I haven't seen many for sale. I'd hate to part it out or punt it, and while it would be something I would want to pass on to my son, I don't want to over invest in the wrong project. Any advice would be appreciated.
